Mysterious cyber-attacker hits at federal websites, crisis averted? {Engadget}

Seriously? North Korea is a very dominating communist regime. Internet access is locked way the hell down, there are no teenagers there with access to the internet and sit around all day. The vast population in N Korea are conscripts in the army because it's one of the only ways they can get food, clothing and shelter. As for if it originated in N Korea, that's pretty easily found out from looking at the packets and tracing it back through the routers on the internet backbone.

The regime used the memorial to criticize the United States and South Korea.
"We will sternly smash the U.S. imperialist forces and South Korea's puppet regime anti-unification plot," Kim Yong Nam, the North's No. 2 leader, told the ceremony, according to footage broadcast on state television.
"We will achieve the historical mission of national unification by realizing" Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il's policies for that, he added."

Telstra exec's stolen WinMo 6.5-equipped HTC phone remotely wiped? {Engadget}
Feb 23rd 2009 6:27PM Yes, if it has been associated with a user's email via Exchange, that person who owns the email account (or an Exchange admin) can log in, even using Outlook Web Access, and send a remote wipe. Granted the phone needs to either be set for auto synch, or be told to synch with the Exchange server in order to recieve this command, but it's been like this since 6.0 - nothing new.
Microsoft gets sued over Windows XP downgrade fees {Engadget}
Feb 16th 2009 5:42PM So...it's not MS. When you buy a license, you can use it for any older version you want (granted the key will not work, but the way bulk licensing like Dell and others have works, is that you can use any older version with a license for whatever version you buy). This is the OEM's who choose to do this and make the money doing so.
Microsoft puts the kibosh on Windows 7 beta downloads {Engadget}
Feb 11th 2009 2:10PM More stable and efficient driver support?
You do know that it used the exact same drivers and driver model as Vista...so it won't get any more "stable" after release, since it's using all current drivers right now don't you?
Microsoft puts the kibosh on Windows 7 beta downloads {Engadget}
Feb 11th 2009 1:53PM I hate to tell you, but there is a new build produced *every single day*
Each day as bug fixes, changes, and additions are checked into the build tree, a new version (and hence new build number incrementing each time) is produced in order to verify the fixes worked, new changes didn't break other things, etc.
Windows 7 Beta in-depth impressions {Engadget}
Jan 23rd 2009 4:50PM Paul, you really don't understand what they are talking about in regards to SLI do you?
They are putting the onus on the card manufacturer's - just like it is now. SLI will work the same as always, but nVidia and ATI NEED to be, are, and will continue to be responsible for making something they came up with work they way they want it to.
Why the hell should it be something supported natively within the O/S in the first place? Please explain to me in great detail the reason that this would be good, and something you feel you deserve.
Oh, and which O/S is faster, etc is such an unoriginal point that you stick to. Seriously, MS-DOS 3.1 will run a TON faster than any of the Windows will on the same hardware, but guess what - that doesn't make it better or something we should all cling to or start using again.
